This episode of The Yondr Podcast, we spoke to Mark Pollock, a motivational speaker, author and explorer from Northern Ireland. Mark fills us in on his inspiring journey, his disabilities and how they propelled him to find his life’s work. Mark is the co-founder of the popular global running series, Run in the Dark, and also facilitates collaboration between science and technology to cure paralysis in his lifetime.
In honor of Women in Engineering Day, the Yondr team would like to acknowledge our very own Jihoo Woo, a Technical Program Manager for Yondr in the Americas.
Seamless data center project delivery starts with a health and safety mindset
There’s one question every client asks us before starting a project: Why should we choose you over the competition? Here’s how we answer that: At Yondr, our speed to delivery is lightning quick. We have extensive in-house capabilities. We’re home to some of the most skilled and experienced people in the industry.
Data centers are now part of our critical infrastructure. They are integral to the daily operations of government, business and society at large, as important to our lives as energy and water supply.
Host Athina Koligkioni speaks to European Operations Director, Sergio Pereira from cabling specialist company, Rellium. They chat about Sergio’s start in the industry, and his take on the future of data.
Setting sail: The astonishing skill and strength of character needed to compete in a solo race around the world
Yondr is sponsoring sailor Pip Hare to compete in the Vendée Globe race, one of the world’s toughest endurance events. We asked Pip to share her story as she enters her final weeks of training for what promises to be an incredible journey. Over to you Pip!
We're back again for day two at DCD Singapore. Join our Chief Development Officer, Pete Jones, as he talks to special guests Ben Freedman from the MLM Group, and Dan Kennedy at Tate Inc. The Yondr team also give their one line summaries of the event.
From apprentice to global operations director — how an apprenticeship changed my life
Born and raised in London’s East End, I definitely wasn’t the smartest kid. I applied for 50-odd positions and was granted three interviews, one of which was for a technician’s apprenticeship with the Post Office.
Critical spaces from scratch in a year – how Yondr does it
There’s no such thing as being a single moment late. If a data center isn’t completed on time, it will be delayed for months or there will be serious consequences for other projects no amount of money can fix.
Pip Hare and Hannah Ormondroyd in partnership with iMasons
This episode it's Yondr's Marketing Communications Manager, Louise Donkor who speaks to ocean racing extraordinaire, Pip Hare and chair of the iMason's diversity and inclusion committee, Hannah Ormondroyd.
Now, we all know there’s nothing sexy about data center operations. And you only hear about operations when something goes horribly wrong. So as we manoeuvre through the pandemic, whatever the crisis throws at us, we know any new processes and procedures we introduce need to remain simple.
The paper sets out the very clear and compelling case for hybrid cloud adoption and recommends how companies and teams need to evolve to get their decision making right, choosing which workloads to put where, when the fork in the road arrives.
We are now several weeks into COVID-19 lockdown measures. The initial wave of enforced changes to work and living routines is behind us, and the world is slowly adjusting to the idea that we’re in this for the long haul.
It was a fast decision made by the senior leadership team on the day, based on the facts we had. We pushed it out via all our internal channels. We recorded a video explaining the decision, sent everyone an email, published blog posts and sent SMS messages, so everyone knew. With 20/20 hindsight, I’m glad we did.
It's day two of the Pacific Telecommunications Council conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Pete Jones speaks to Chris Bair from Stream Datacenters on the Americas and listens to thoughts from Oliver Jones from Chayora on the data center market in China.
Yondr attended the Pacific Telecommunications Council in Honolulu, Hawaii for the first time this year. As venues go, this was one we were quite excited by!
Pete Jones interviews Gerard Thibault, Chief Technical Officer at KAO Data. Gerard shares his views on the conference’s themes, industry trends and how they relate to the practical world of data center design and delivery.
Join our CDO Pete Jones for an interview with Simon Allen, Executive Director at Infrastructure Masons. They caught up during some downtime at last October's Data Center Dynamics in Dallas. Listen on for discussions on Simon's unique data center insights, workforce, technical innovations and the future of the industry.
Infrastructure investors are in part expanding their scope to support the sector, but not in full. This is proposed as being owed to infrastructure such as roads, tunnels and bridges with “tolls” going one way...in data centers, we typically pay penalties for poor performance.
Listen to our latest podcast to hear from our Head of Health and Safety, Gareth Evans, discuss mental health in his role at Yondr with Pete Jones, and Matt Roche recaps on the recent Mental Health First Aid training Yondr employees received with Commercial Manager, Natalie Stanton and psychologist Olivia Conneely.
Picking up a copy of the FT while travelling back from Asia last week, I was struck by the notion of the editor. To secure the front and back pages, and inside cover with an announcement that our system and markets need to change deeply resonated with me.
The provision of a recognised scoring system for data centers (such as LEED) could be a ‘powerful’ (very poor pun) addition to our sector. We as developers, operators, builders and tenants must embrace such initiatives.
This Yondr Podcast comes to you from the Data Center Dynamics conference in Singapore. Join Pete, Matt, Andy and others to discuss the event's hottest topics.
Ever wondered how hyperscale end users see the energy world? I was lucky today to get some great insights today from Jim Collins at Microsoft during his fireside chat at DCD San Francisco.
